Terpsikhorov: Master Artist of Mother Russia
Bird and Stepdown Galleries
Nikolai Borisovich Terpsikhorov (1890-1960) is well beloved among devotees and connoisseurs of Russian art. Among Soviet era artists whose paintings are both realistic and exhibit Narodnost, the “interests of the people and of the land,” Terpsikhorov takes a prominent place. His oeuvre encompasses many subjects including revolutionary, history, ethnographic, and working-class genre paintings, as well as portraits and an abundance of landscapes. Since the mastery of Terpsikhorov was developed on the basis of the reflection of Soviet life, all his pictures bear a definite stamp of social themes and revolutionary times. Yet, ultimately he is a painter of Russia and its exotic far flung empire.
John Telford: Personal Selections from Four Decades
Nemelka Gallery, open 31 Oct - 30 November, 2008

There are photographs taken both in his home state of Utah and in many places throughout the country and around the world. More than simply being photographs that exhibit technical expertise, these are photographs that show what is beautiful, elusive, and unusual as seen through Telford's selective vision.
